Description

When there's a file with a bad license, the output is this:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.12:check (default) on project fontbox: Too many files with unapproved license: 1 See RAT report in: XXXXX\PDFBox reactor\fontbox\target\rat.txt -> [Help 1]

My wish is to have the important part of the report ("Files with unapproved licenses") in the console. This would save the time to open the report. This is really annoying.

(Sorry, I suspect that this may have been asked before, but didn't find any)
